Green Food for Chickens

Green Food for Chickens -Wherc
these have full liberty in fields or woods the
question Of supplying them with green food
need never be thought of, as the chicks will
find abundance to suit themselves; but It is
quits different with the endless numbers
which are brought up in confinement. In
their ease it as necessary to give them green
food as meal, grain or water, and poultry
keepers are frequently at their wits end to
tell where to get suitable green stufs at this
and other times of the year. Lettuce, ,ndive
chicory, or wtloof are all capital; but an all
year-round supply Of them cannot be secured
easily; but the dandelion, which is as good as
any or all Of them, may be gathered from the
roadsides in every month of the year. and
nothing in the way of green food can be recon
mended better than this The best way Of
giving it is to chop it up very fine and mix it
with the meal. 1t is cooling, healthy, and al
ways acts asa soothing tonic. As to quantity
one handful Of chopped d,ndelion to one
quart OF meal will be found suitable.-Ex.

MORNING. ANN EvENsgG.
In The morning of life was filled with
ambition
To roam DER the world aud sec sights
afar
Iut somehow in age am prone to con
triton
At missing the splendors saw in my
stars.
Many friends came around me in moments
OF pleasure,
Who drank at my banquet and laughed at
my wit;
But when had lost all my health and my
treasure
They left me alone in my sorrow to sit.
The voice of the crowd, as 1t rung in my
praises,
Awakened joy imagined would last;
But, alas my ambition lies under the
daisies,
And the wrecks Of my glory are strewn
In the past.
No more shall sail on the bright, bound
ing billow,
Where youth ia It's beauty rode high on
the wave,
For soon shall sleep meath the turf for a
pliIOW,
And 90 to the millions that rest in the
grave.
Yet this trcss Of brown hair that press In
my sorrow
Aud the withered remains OF this cher
ished wild rose
Shall shine DER the ashes of Hope every
morrow
And bring 10 my lone heart sweet peace
and reposc.
At the shrine Of memory loved In my
childhood
kneel and ! pray In the midnight Of
care,
And fit back again to the flowers in the
wildwood,
While soaring in silence DER grief and
despair.
All who has not lef. still some sweet con-
ISOLATION
To soften the pahgs and the thorns OF
regret,
When every wild fancy ard dark deras'a-
ton
In vain bids us Danish the past and
forgot9
